My partner plus I have been giving a lot of thought to a current heating idea for the house.
Our boiler has been here ever since the home was built in 1969.
That is a long time for a furnace. Both of us believe that the two of us are on borrowed time where the heating idea is distraught. It seems that the two of us are always vacillating from one type of heating to another. Both of us have looked at having ductless multi-splits installed plus then evaluated out a geothermal Heating, Ventilation & A/C. Both of us have also considered electric heat plus pellet stoves. Ours is an aged home with a lot of cut-ups. That means that there is one large hallway with multiple rooms scattered along both sides. Both of us have a fairly open living area, which is straight-forward to heat. When it comes to the multiple living rooms, they are a unusual story. With them being on both sides of the home plus at the end of the house, they get all kinds of weather exposure. Both of us need to consider the unusual needs of every room in the house. Both of us went to visit a friend the other day, who has recently had a pellet installed. I was surprised at how warm his home is. It is built a lot like outs, however it is even larger. His home is very comfortable due to the pellet stove, even though he also says that he is going through at least multiple 40 pound bags of pellets every day. It put us back to square one in our search. That means we’ll be hoping our heating idea gets us through another winter.
